- Can I split a 1-hour album into 10 tracks?
- Yes — paste the tracklist (timestamp + track name per line) and each segment will be named after its track. Or use timestamps mode and provide 9 split points.
- Can I extract only certain parts and skip the rest?
- Yes — use Ranges mode. Enter one line per segment as `start end [name]`. Example: `0:05-0:30 Intro` keeps that range; anything not covered by a range is discarded. Great for pulling multiple clips out of a podcast or long recording.
- Will it re-encode the audio and lose quality?
- If you keep the output format the same as the input, we use stream copy (`-c copy`) — no re-encoding, no quality loss. If you change format (e.g. WAV input → MP3 output), we re-encode.
- How accurate are the cuts?
- The tool cuts at the nearest audio frame boundary (about 20-30ms precision for MP3/AAC). For music this is effectively seamless. If you need sample-accurate cuts, convert to WAV first.
- What's the tracklist format?
- Each line: a timestamp (MM:SS or HH:MM:SS) followed by the track name. Most formats work — with or without leading numbers, dashes, or brackets. Example: `03:22 Ride of the Valkyries` or `[3:22] Track 2`.
